In the heart of Knightsbridge, overlooking Hyde Park, The Berkeley combines tradition with cutting-edge innovation. Take, for example, “Pret-a-Portea”, its take on afternoon tea: The Berkeley brings this fine old English tradition into the 21st century by producing cakes and pastries inspired by each fashion season’s catwalk designs. Eclairs, cupcakes and shortbread biscuits are treated regularly to a makeover in the styles of top fashion designers such as Emanuel Ungaro and Diane von Furstenburg.
